Snapshots from the Field

Each week the Nourishing the Planet team picks out some of our favorite photos from the environmentally sustainable agriculture projects we’re visiting in sub-Saharan Africa.

This week’s photo features an image of permaculture, a holistic agriculture system that mimics relationships found in nature. It was taken during our visit to Stacia and Kristof Nordin’s house in Malawi, which is used as an educational outdoor classroom to help farmers and their neighbors learn about the importance of permaculture and growing indigenous vegetables for the health of people and the ecosystem of Malawi.
